Focusing on the act of watching rather than participating, this book explores the philosophical dimensions of sports viewership. It highlights the active role spectators play in shaping their experience, drawing parallels with art and theatre. By examining the aesthetic qualities of sports, from the beauty of a precise football pass to the artistry of ice-skating and gymnastics, it engages with themes of aesthetics, morality, and collective emotional experiences, appealing to a diverse audience in philosophy and sports studies.
